HOW THE WINE WAS STOLEN.

Although Dixon is under indictmentew
Golden, and for the same otfense, the jury
evidently believed good deal that he said
for after the case had been argued and they
had been charged, it took them less
than twenty minutes to agree
upon a verdict of guilty. Golden's
counsel moved for an arrest of Judgment
and gave notice of a motion for a new
trial. Dixon and Matthews will be tried
to-day. Goldens crime is felony, and is
penitentiary offense.

Sherman ana the ParsOn.

1t Was during tine occupation of
Memphis. Sherman had ordered all
churches to be closed on Sunday. The
day following the issue of the order the
General was waited on by man who
was appareled in all the formal garb of
the clergy, and whose face was made
solemn by an expression suggestive OF
willing martyr.
"Well, SIR" said the General, "what
is your mission?"
81 am an Episcopal clergyman, I"
quoth the visitor, land I am perplexed
to know how to obey your order.
There seems to be conflict Of author
ity. According to our church ritual we
are now directed to pray for the Hon.
Jefferson Davis, President Of the Con-
federate States, and l am ecclesiasti-
cally bound to obey orders"
ooh, never mind" said the General,
"pray for Davis; pray for him with all
your might and main. He needs all
the prayers you can make; but, my
friend, to be candid, am very much
afraid praying will do him no good
now. He's gone up"
"Inleel?" said the pastor, with be-
wildered look, "then shall / pray for
Abraham Lincoln?"
"No, my dear sir, don't do that; he
don't need any prayers. He is just as
sure of salvation as any man that ever
died or will die"
Out of curiosity Gen. Sherman at
tended the Episcopal Church the next
Sunday.
The minister saw his distinguished
visitor in the audience, and when he
reached the point of conflict in the
service between the Church North and
the Church South, with one eve on the
prayer-book and the other on Gen.
Sherman, he said, "Bless the authority
over lis, without more specifically des-
ignating his Supporters. -PittsJqtrgh

A Faithful Servant.

The following story comes to the
"Listener" from q Maine city, and it
strikes him that, for once, he may
break, in it's behalf, the old rule never
to call q story a good one before it is
told:
One evening, not long ago, there was
arrested q gentleman of position and
of CHEEKY habits. The policeman said
he had found the old gentleman on
the street very drunk. The complaint
was entered against him, but as he
seemed to be able to get about, he was
released on his recosnizance and sent
home in hack, which he paid for with
great alacrity When his case came
up in court tho only witnesses sum-
moned to prove his condition were the
policeman and the old family servant OF
the accused, faithful and devoted re-
tainer.
The policeman had given his testi-
mony, which was nnqualitiedly to the
fact of the old gentleman's intoxication.
Then the old servant was called to the
stand. There was q mingled express
sion Of indignation and determination
on his countcnance. He testified fatty,
to the surprise of the courtroom, that
the old man was sober when he came
home. The Prosecuting Attorney pro-
ceeded to to question.
"You say that Mr.. - was sober
when he came home?"

"Did he go to bed alone?"

"He said Good night"

Anything else?"

"What was it? Tell us exactly what
he said, every word"
"He said as how was to wake and
call him early, for he was to be Queen

The court room roared. And in spite
Of the old servants very positive testi-
mony the accused was convicted and
fined. --Bosto,e Transcript

Curious Mental Disorder.

Accounts are given of attacks to
which the Esquimaux are sometimes
victims, for which no name has been
found. According to the description
an Esquimau, while sailing in his kaial1
upon perfectly calm, smooth sea, is
suddenly seized wit a feeling that his
boat is tipping to one side; he Jumps to
the other to preserve the equilibrium,
but this only makes matters worse and
he abandons himself to anxious and
even frenzied attempts to keep the boat
from tipping; he can no longer fish,
and his troubles do not cease until he
gets in sight of shore or of another
boat. These attacks are not accom-
panied or preceded by any malaise or
nausea; nor does there appear to be
any true vertiginous sensation, but
rather an hallucnation of the sense of
equilibrium. The attack occurs when
Tue subject is apparently in full health
and IS unattended with headache, palpi-
tat1ons' commissions, or paralysis.

Women ut Dinner.

Who are the best companions at
dinner? Women are almost invari-
ably good company, but you should re-
momber never to waste good dinner
on woman. They have absolutely no
idea Of the delicacies and beauties of a
thoroughly balanced dinner, and the
younger they are the less able are they
to appreciate the work Of an accom-
plished chef. There is scarcely a wo-
man in New York who wonld not
rather put on new gown and eat q
wretched dinner amid the splendor of
Delmonicos or the Brunswick than eat
q capital dinner at n lowly restaurant.
A man, on the other hand, had
rather eat good dinner in g howell than
bad one in palace. What the wo-
men like is lots OF tinsel, gold, cut
glass, colored lights, gorgeous ices,
graceful champagne glasses, and strains
of music. Give them these things and
they don't give rap for the rest. If
you take stupid friend to dinner you
stand very fair chance Of having your
meal spoiled unless he is very old
friend. If you know him very we'll you
may indulge in lcng periods of silence
the privilege of old friendship-and de-
vote your entire attention to the din
ner. In this case stupid friend is
often blessing in disguise, for it is
very annoying at times to be obliged to
keep up running fire Of small talk
when there is more important business
on hand.-HOtel Gazette.

The Squat and Swarthy Italians,

One who has watched them and
studied their ways says that tho Italian
laborers on the railroads in this coun-
try live principally on rye bread, maca-
roni, and pork. They earn $l.2O per
day, and as they never lose any time
they get from $50 to $35 per month.
From this the board bill is deducted.
Their expenses for the month generally
run between IS and Sc. Some live on
less, but when man spends 81 or SIS
per month he is considered as living
very extravagantly. They come from
the northern part Of Italy, from the
region near the Alps. Very few CT
them come from any part of Italy
south Of Rome, for in that part of the
country there is a great deal of tilling
OF soil, q great many vineyards, and a
great deal Of work. The poorer classes
of Italians are to be found in the
northern part of Italy, where work is
scarce and where the men are always
ready to come to this country. This is
pretty severe competition with Ameri-
can workingmen, especially when the
latter own property, pay taxes, and
give their children an education.-Bos-

Rntter and Oleomarparine.

Much has been said and written
about the relative digestibility of but
ter and oleomargarine. The only act
ual comparative tests on record are O
| series made with man and boy by
Prof Mayer, in Holland. In these from
| 97.7 to 9S.4 per cent. of the fat of the
butter and from 3d. to 96.3 per cent
of the fat of the oleomargarine were di-
gested. The average difference was
l.6 per cent. in favor of the butter,
Certain possible sources Of error in
| such experiments make it question
whether the digestion was not in fact
more nearly complete than even these
figures make it. An interesting series
of experiments in artificial digestion
conducted by DR.. r. ID. Clark, in be-
half of the New York Dairy Commits
sion, though of course not affording q
definite measure of the process as it
actually goes on in the body, accords
with the very natural supposition that,
in ease, and perhaps in completeness
of digestion, oleomargarine would rank
between butter and the fat of ordinary
meat.
In chemical composition oleomarga-
rine stands between meat-fat and but
ter. 1t will be remembered that oleo-
margarine is made from beef-fat and
lard by removing from them parts of
the stearin, which counts as the least
digestible Ingredient and adding lit
tie butter and sometimes oil, as cotton
seed oil. The bulk of all these fatty
substances, meat-fat, butter, and oil,
consists of the same or nearly the same
kinds of fat, the meat-fat having the
more stearin. The butter, however,
contains small quantities, seven per
cent. or thereabouts, of peculiar fats,
butyrin, caproin, etc, which give it its
flavor and which are drought by some
to make it moro easily digestible,
especially by persons whose digestion
is enfeebled by lack of digestive juices
or otherwise.
In the excitement over oleomarga-
rine legislation, the discussion of the
relative digestibilty of butter and but
ter substitutes has been made very
active by the Importance of its bear
ing upon their comparative values for
nutriment, and many statements have
ical composition of the peculiar butter
fats and the consequent chemical
changes in the process of digestion and
assimilation in the body. 1t is inter-
esting to compare the very positive in
ferences which some writer's upon the
subject draw from experimental inyes-
LEGATIONS, with the very guarded en-
pressions of opinion made by the au-
thors of the same Investigations in their
writings and in personal conversation.
Tie facts at hand and the general i'm
preston OF special students of these
subjects, so far as l have observed, are
to the effect that probably, for healthy
persons, the difference letween butter
and oleomargarine in ease and in COM
pleteness of digestion would be at
most very slight, but that for people
with enteebled digestion and for in
fants, butter may, perhaps, at times,
have the adyantage.-Prot -4t,vater, IN

A Hunters Danger.

The largest bear any of us ever saw
was cinnamon that came within one of
killing one of my men, good hunter
and hrst-class guide-Charles Huff.
Il may refer to the big cinnamon, too,
as an instance of the danger that some
times attends trapping the bear.) He
had set his traps near Sunlight, in the
spring, and was unable to visit them for
week. When he got to the bait, trap
and log were gone. After taking up the
trail, he found the remnants of his log
chewed to matchwood; the bear, evil
IDENTIFY large one, had gone off with
the trap. He followed his trail as long
rs he had light, but found nothing, and
had to return to camp. Next day, very
foolishly, he took the trail again alone,
beginning where he left Oft. After a
long march he came to the steep side
OF a hill. The bear had evidently gone
up there; on the soft, snow-sodden
ground the trail was plain. just as he
was beginning to ascend there was rush
and roar, and the bear was on him.
He had no time to put his repeater to
his shoulder, but letting it fall between
his hands he pulled the trigger. The
bear was within few feet of him, and
by q great chance the unaimed bullet
took him between the eyes. He had
evidently tried the hillside and, worried
by the trap, had come back on his trail
and lain behind q great heap of dirt,
into which he had partly burrowed.

debris of spring-tide- fallen stones and
uprooted trees-a bear could easily lie

In the Mosque of Omar.

The Mosque of Omar is beautiful /:
its walls are adorned with marbles OF
delicate colors, and the dome is rooted
with tiles OF brilliant blue, and some
green and yellow. The effect from the
Mount of Olives is OF turquoise dome
roofing walls of pearl, says a writer in
the (uiUer. 1t stands high; white
payements and tall expresses around {;
steps lead down to other courts, once
the Court of the Gentiles, the Court

olives, and grass of emerald green,
and abundant wild flowers cover the
nakedness where Solomon's offerings
had enriched the entrance ground be-
tween the golden gate and the eastern
walls of the temple itself.
Inside the mosque is exquisite. A
circle of marble pillars inclose the ver-
table rough rock top Of Mount Moriah
and support the inner part OF the dome,
which is rich in mosaic worthy to be
compared with that in Santa Maria
N1aggiore, in Rome. Portals and par
titions, inlaid with tortoise shell,
mother-of-pearl, and ivory, divided the
little side chapels from the central pas
sageway between them and the sacred
rock, the scene of Abraham's awful
obedience and of the sacrifice OF the
Son of God. We saw the opening cut
in the rock for the escape of the sacri-
feed blood, and, descending into the
excavation below, we found q similar
opening communicating with duct
which discharged into q. ccsspool by
the brook Hebron. We crossed the
outer southern court, and, passing the
fountain supplied by the water as its
grander predecessor on the backs of
brazen oxen, we dccended beneath the
present mosque. Ell Aksar, close to
the Mosque of Omar, into the very
same gallery which led to the old tenn
pie from the south and up which our
Lord Walked again and again when He
was here. 1t is now half filled with
rubbish and earth, but the ceiling is
still so high above that We needed to
be reminded that the ground level is
far down under the rubble. The pill
lars in single, solid blocks, the round
keystone in the roof and the lintels of
long single stones, are witnesses of the
glory which has departed. Leaving
this gallery we climbed the city walls
by the golden gate, and walking south
at the angle of the walls, we descended
underground into the stables of Solo
mon. That they may have been util-
lied by him, and certainly were by the
crusaders, the halter rings declare;
but it seems that the original intention
was to raise the level Of the valley, and
the thick forest Of pillars are chiefly
for support.
